Most useful vid on YT, hands down! Only thing that makes me sad is the used price of 5150s in Norway Luckily your northern pronunciation of knob more than make sup for it. :D
@@adamsteelproducer My collection is now: BeastMachine, CheapState, GodsBrit, TBPulse & TBV30. I mostly record HM-2 stuff through a Laney IRT Studio or Marshall TSL60. Those kinds of cabs give me the 80s/90s left and right sounds that I'm used to hearing. I don't recall if you mentioned it in the vid, but the DI track has to be on record monitor for the key to work on the 3/4 ReaGate send. Had me scratching my old head for a few minutes there. Works like a dream now. No more wild screeching when I'm moving around the room. Ta very much
Ok im way late to the party... So if i wanted to do this with amp sims could i do it all on 1 track or would i still need 2 tracks? Sending the DI on 1/2 & 3/4 so i control the gate with the same DI?
This was great, really useful, but.... I missed the part where you explained how someone who is using a mic on their amp can get themselves a dry signal? 🤔 I think I can suss it out using my Katana Artist but it would be good to see the thought completed here! Great work overall.
Im thinking of running this through to a Kemper for re-amping a recorded DI (from the original Kemper output). I'm a little unclear as to rote to the recording track. I'm trying to see if this method is better than the internal gate in the Kemper at the input or as one of the built in effects pedal. Great live stream though and will try with live recordings.
what is the difference if you're putting the reagate at the beginning of the signal chain than just doing it without the second di track? it will still get the clean signal unless im thinking wrong
The difference is not with the gate getting the clean signal, but with how the amp sim behaves in response to it. Having the gate clamp down after the distortion section means you can have much more dynamic guitars without clamping down on softer notes, and also not pick up so much hiss from the original signal. If you don’t need it, great! Higher gain tight rhythms seem to work better this way in many cases though
@@adamsteelproducer i see thank you for clarifying cause i thought the gate was before the distortion and not after in your video, thank you for the explanation
I'm using a Captor with speaker IRs too as I'd much rather record from an amp, but had thought of recording a DI as well. But it always seemed like it would be a faff when recording punch-ins and what-nots. Is there a way around it?
I don’t find it much of a faff, just record both tracks at the same time, and edit the two tracks together by selecting them at the same time. No different to having 2 mics on the same cab and editing
Sure, record a stereo channel, DI to the left, amp to the right. Most daws have a plugin that makes it possible to only play the left or the right channel through both speakers. It's great for editing too, since you edit both di and amp together always and you can cut on the transients on the di track.
Thanks for the vid, really useful. Only problem I'm having in Reaper is I can hear both the noisy distorted track and the cab sim track with gate simultaneously. How can I mute the noise while I'm tracking?
@@adamsteelproducer That sorted it thanks, you're a ledge! You got a new subscriber today. Can't believe this video doesn't have more hits, it's a game changer. Just need to adjust my latency settings in reaper now to sort the slight delay and I'm ready to rock.
Hope that works out for you! Recently I’ve been doing it the other way, direct monitoring only, putting up with the noise but knowing it’s gone on the track. In my studio latencys not an issue, but at home usb interfaces aren’t ideal
@@adamsteelproducer That's a good point actually. I think I'm just so euphoric about the new sounds that I want to hear them right away, but you're right, for the sake of tracking latency it does make more sense to do it the other way round. Thanks again.
Whatever works for you! I used to be very good at adjusting to that latency, but for a few years now I’ve been spoiled by 1ms round-trips and now my brain won’t do the compensation! It’s bizarre what the human brain can do
I'm trying to follow what you have shown here. But instead of real amp I wanna go with amp sim. The thing is, when I switch to aux in gate it still shows an output signal. What am I doing wrong?
Brilliant! With this setup you can even torture a strat in front of a radar station and not here noise.
Cant thank you enough for this
Adam you are genius! Bought your Reaper course from Pro Mix Academy a couple of month ago and it's very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Just tried this out with some amp sims and it djents hard! Thank you for this awesome tutorial, info was super clear, keep it up!
Clearest explanation of the reagate I've ever seen, thanks a lot!

That ping pong echo lead gave me asmr
Went and bought a couple more of your Two Notes cabs as a thank you
Setting this template up right now.
Brilliant cheers! Which ones did you get?

Good shout! I did miss that one, since record monitor should be on by default, but depending on your setup it might not be
Thanks for this .im at my end with tone altering gates that cost hundreds even 4 cable method .im hoping this remedys this frustrating problem
Very useful! Great vid
Really useful stuff!

tried this with Neural DSP Nolly (I have some really bad computer noise in my guitar sound), though on my 7-string it wouldn't tame the lowest string
Cool Vid, but you can just drag and drop your send to the plugin on the next track and it will automaticly create a sidechain send to that track;)
Zuul, like in Ghostbusters Zuul, "I am the Gate keeper..."
No background noise, only Zuul.....
15:12, is that a nod to Glen Fricker and The Eagle Has Landed?
Yep!

Sigh...Sonic Youth Day Dream Nation would be mostly silence with a set up like this. Yeah, I’m old.

Do you have direct monitoring enabled on your interface? That needs to be off

Default reaper 6 theme
@@adamsteelproducer Thanks! I was still using reaper 5

No matter what it shows, what do you hear? That’s what’s important
By the way great video. Thank you very much for this share.
@@adamsteelproducer Signal is gated, just wanted to make sure if I'm doing 100% exact thing as you described here. Thanks again :)
Cool. Yes you’ll see meters go- but if you don’t hear the DI then all is well. Have fun!
What guitar is that?
It’s a custom Tele by Hart Guitars, EMGs and a good setup currently with 11-64 in drop B
